Male Infertility

Nearly 15% of married couples have difficulty conceiving a child. There is an equal probability that either partner is a contributing factor.

Medical and surgical treatments can improve abnormal semen.

Microscopic vasectomy reversal

Also known as a vasovasostomy/vasoepididymostomy.

This is a surgical procedure to reconnect the vas deferens tubes that are cut during a vasectomy.

Our doctors use an operative microscope for precision.

We offer a global price for the vasectomy reversal surgery of $9,000 which covers either the vasovasostomy or vasoepididymostomy. This fee covers surgeon, anesthesiologist, use of the operating room and one follow-up visit.

Chances of success for a vasovasostomy

Chance of returning sperm to the semen and pregnancy depends on the type of vasectomy reversal that is performed, which itself depends on how long ago the vasectomy was. Since a man's sperm count decreases as he ages, it also depends on the age of the patient and his potential to make sperm. Female factors also play a significant role in the pregnancy rate.

Epididymal obstruction can decrease success of reversal

Our doctors will perform a vasoepididymostomy during the vasectomy reversal, if it would be beneficial to increase surgical success.

After vasovasostomy

Most men have mild pain after surgery.

Walking and light activity are resumed quickly.

Sexual intercourse is not permitted for 14 days.

Strenuous activity should be avoided for one month.

Alternatives to increase pregnancy success

Intra-uterine insemination (IUI) of sperm can be performed, if the sperm count is inadequate.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) where eggs are removed from the woman's ovaries and placed in a lab dish with sperm. Fertilization occurs in a laboratory dish.

Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an assisted fertilization procedure used if the sperm count is very low. This consists of injecting a single sperm into each egg.
